Augusta Bay Guest House

Augusta Bay is surrounded by a cobalt sea swirling between towering monoliths of rock, a sparkling estuarine lagoon, lush indigenous forests and one perfect fairway after another. These are just some of the elements which make the Augusta Bay experience as unique as it is magnificent.
